My name is Hayley and I am a current PhD student at UCD researching the history of ladies’ Gaelic football and women’s sport in Ireland with support from the LGFA as part of the activities to mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of the LGFA this year.
All going well, there are plans publish a book on 50 years of the LGFA later this year and I am reaching out to some people now to gather images to include in the book. I am looking for good quality photos that the owner would be willing to share with me and give permission to use reproduce the images for print and digital, and possible use them in any publicity or marketing around the book if selected? Kerry’s fantastic achievements in the 1980s feature (naturally!) and I’d love to get some images from this time if the county board have any available to them or if you can put the call out to past players or administrators. Team photos, action shots, celebrations, etc – anything would be great!
Spec wise – quality is key so a good scan of the image would be great (I use an app called Genius Scan) but if there are any questions on this just let me know. I’m hoping to put all the images together for consideration as soon as possible but by April 22 at the latest.
Looking forward to hearing from you and, any questions, please feel free to ask. (Email address at the bottom)
Le meas,
Hayley
